THE 

ECONOMICAL 

EUROPEAN GUIDE 



* One star prefixed means Important. 
** Two stars prefixed means Absolutely Necessary 
or Very Important. 



If you ever have the time and a small amount of money 
by all means take an European tour. If you sec America 
first, the cost is great, the distances vast; the result hardly 
commensurate with the time and money spent. Great natu- 
ral beauty is common to both continents; Europe is alone in 
its architecture, its fine arts, its varied races and customs 
and its relics of antiquity. Before touring abroad read this 
book through the very first thing. Incur no expense for 
anything before doing so. It protects, directs and saves 
you money everywhere. It tells you how to procure free 
guides, maps and information, also very low railway fares, 
and good, low-priced, safe hotels and restaurants. It is a 
practical aid for those who wish to enjoy an artistic trip 
embracing ALL that is best on the continent, yet who desire 
to avoid unnecessary trouble and expense by using common- 
sense methods. *It3 sole purpose is to benefit you. It gives 
the actual amounts spent on such a trip by a married couple 
who were experienced travelers. It is as short and valuable 
as possible, yet gives all necessary information. It tells 
how to get much for little and a great deal for nothing. 

On a recent trip covering practically all Europe, i8o days' 
land travel cost $630.00 for two; $1.75 per day each; this 
amount including every expense. Neither person spoke any 
foreign language; the few words and phrases given in this 
book were acquired abroad. 

With this guide the following tours can be made by any 
one, the average cost of living being $1.00 per day:

If your means are limited and you wish to go far for little 
you can see all Europe in 50 days' very fast travel for Sioo.oo, 
or in 100 days' fast travel for Si 70.00. You can see all Europe 
thoroughly in 6 months' slow travel for $300.00. Add to 
thi^- your cabin passages there and back, the two for from 
$S-.co to Sioo.oo, and you have the total for the entire tour. 

These comprehensive trips may only be achieved by 
getting full value for every dollar spent. Travel econom- 
ically; eat plain, wholesome food; avoid gorgeous, tip- 
taking hotels. Ask how much everything is always in 
advance (experienced travelers invariably do this), and 
insist on a low price. Be sharp, adapt yourself to the sen- 
sible customs and live like the natives of the countries you 
visit. There is absolutely no hardship and nothing but 
pleasure and enjoyment on such a trip. 

In America the rich only travel extensively and railways 
and hotels cater especially to them. In Europe rich, rnoder- 
ately well-to-do and poor are always journeying, railways 
having rates for each class and hotels accommodating them 
at all prices; plainness and cleanliness only being required 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 7 

by the vast majority. Small hotels are quiet, clean, homelike 
and have only one or two servants who look to you for 
remuneration. *The larger the hotel the less homelike and 
the more you are expected to give in gratuities. 

A stay at an expensive house is often the cause of much 
discomfort. 

If you patronize the list of "Christian Hospice" given in 
this book you will enjoy the best of friendly, moderate-priced 
hotels. 

You can learn all the language you need in any country 
in a few minutes. One phrase procures you lodging in any 
house or hotel (words in parenthesis really unnecessary): 

(Have you) a room for two, sir? How much? Show me. 

German: (Haben sie) ein zimmer mit zwei betten, 
meinheer? Was ist costa? Zeigen sie mir. 

French : (Auriez vous) une chambre pour deux, monsieur? 
Combien? Mortrez moi. 

Italian: (Avrebbe) una stanza ammobligata per due, 
signor? Quanto? Mostretemi. 

One phrase procures you tickets at any railway station: 

Two tickets, third class, to Paris. No change (of cars)? 
Return. 

German: Zwei biliete dritte klass nach Paris. Nicht 
umsteigen? Zuruck._ 

French: Deux billet troiseme class pour Paris. Non 
changeur? Retour. 

Italian: Due bighetti terza classe per Paris. Non 
combiamento? Ritorno. 

In Belgium, Switzerland, Wurtemberg (in Ger- 
many), and many parts of Austria and France you may 
use a general abonnement (practically a railway pass good 
for a certain number of days' unlimited travel). Show one 
of these tickets without speaking, and you can go anywhere, 
any time,, within each territory's limits. 

In Italy use Circular Voyage Ticket. By having next 
station at which you wish to stop stamped on ticket by 
station agent before taking train you may cover practi- 
cally all cities without talking or trouble. 

a" few words will procure you food and drink anywhere. 

Do exactly as this book tells you; it took time and trouble 
to find out the very best way, now set down here. 

Hold tight to your money. Always travel independently. 

**Always be absolutely your own master. Buy no foolish 
tours, hotel coupons or Rundreise tickets. Illness or acci- 
dent may cause you much loss if you purchase these. You 



8 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

can save one-half on such investments, and common sense 
tells you you need your own time and your own inclinations 
to stop, see and enjoy the countries you visit. You may as 
well not tour the continent at all as to be one of a flock raced 
through by a guide. *Liberty and independence should be 
valued at home and abroad. 

Five prehminaries must be considered: Money; books; 
ship; baggage; route, and traveUng. 

The great necessity in foreign travel is to get money 
quickly, at any time and place and in small amounts. 
**American Express Go's. Traveler's Checks have gooo 
correspondents, are absolutely safe and can be cashed in 
one minute, without inquiry or trouble, anywhere in Eu- 
rope. **The oldest and most experienced travelers use 
these checks. You need no printed Hst, everyone is anx- 
ious to cash them for you as they make a few pennies by 
doing so. They cost J^% and are issued for $100.00 or over. 
**Use Sio.oo checks only; never any higher. When near 
the borders of a country it is enough to draw, as you must 
avoid costly money changing when possible. This company 
also cables money at same rate, >^%; waive identification. 
They have many waiting rooms and handle and forward 
mail everywhere. 

$10.00 Traveler's Ghecks (which are the best) and £. Sh. 
D. Traveler's Ghecks are issued for $100.00 or more by 
Thos. Gook's Sons. They consist of numbered checks in 
one book and a letter of Identification in another book. 
If you lose the checks, they cannot be drawn without the 
corresponding Identification book and exact signature. 
This IS a safe system. This company handles and forwards 
mail everywhere, has waiting-rooms at many places, and has 
much free literature. 

(The author uses many American Express Co.'s $10.00 
Traveler Ghecks and some of Gook's $10.00 checks.) 

Ghecks of the North German Llovd, the Gunard Gompany, 
the International INIercantile Marine, etc., are all good. 

Letters of Gredit are only for rich, slow travelers. **In 
all money matters deal only with travel companies (Ameri- 
can^ Express Go. or Gook's are good). They transact your 
business inteUigently, safely, quickly and economically. 
**Do not deal with banks in any way in any travel affairs, 
their methods are slow, *blundering, *costly, and disap- 
pointing. 

*Try to take enough checks with you to' cover your entire 
trip. If additional funds are sent you, *a registered letter is 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 9 

safe and quick. Each foreign letter is guaranteed against 
loss by the Government up to $50.00. Two letters costing 
20 cents would give you $100.00 at once. Self-addressed 
envelopes or traveler's checks would identify you. They 
may be sent to The Borland Press Agency, 3 Regent St., 
S. W. London, or to any Cook's or Americaii Express Co.'s 
ofl&ce. 

A foreign money order to same address would be safe and 
sure, but the cost is $1.00 for $100.00. American Express Co. 
and Cook's also send blank traveler's checks abroad (if 
paid for in America), to any foreign office where you can sign 
them. *You need no passport in Europe (except in Turkey 
and Russia), as traveler's checks issued in your own country 
and signed by you are self-identifying. 

In Great Britain 24.3 cents equals 12 pennies or i shil- 
Hng; $4.86 is one pound or sovereign ($5.11 or one guinea is 
used only as a trade term, no such coin exists). In the fol- 
lowing countries the standard coins (here given) are divided 
into 100 parts by smaller coins: 19.3 cents one franc (France, 
Belgium, Switzerland); ig.3 cents one lire (Italy); 20.3 
cents one krone (two krones make one florin, Austria); 
23.8 cents one mark (Germany); 40.2 cents one florin or 
gulden (Holland). An easy thing to remember is that $3.89 
equals 16 shillings; 16^ marks and 20 francs or liras. A 
mark is almost exactly 2 % less than a shilling. 

Add greatly to your *knowledge and enjoyment by read- 
ing the following books (at nearly all public libraries): 
**"The European Tour," by Grant Allen (the best in artistic 
travel, and an exceedingly valuable book). *Lubke's 
"History of Art" (a magnificent work in two volumes, beauti- 
fully illustrated) and *Goodyear's "History of Art" (a smaller 
but complete work). *"The World's Painters" by D. L. 
Hoyt (compact and exceedingly valuable). "Famous 
Sculpture," by Esther Singleton; and a short book with many 
beautiful pictures, *"Great Buildings and How to Enjoy 
Them: Gothic Architecture," by E. A. Browne, will all 
amply repay perusal. 

*Rolfe's Satchel Guide to Europe costs $1.50 and is up-to- 
date (maps, fest days, special events, etc.). It is written in a 
very direct, brief style, look it over. *"The Complete Pocket 
Guide to Europe," by E. C. and T. L. Stedman, costs $1.25. 
Small, compact, interesting, and complete; maps, fares, etc. 
All foreign phrases at end of book. 

Be sure to get **"The Dover-Ostend European Guide" 
(500 pages), a guide to nearly all the continent. It lists 



lo EUROPEAN GUIDE 

all hotels with terms, routes, etc., and is a sort of European 
Baedeker. It is given away in London (see under London). 
Many department stores and bookstores sell **Hiirs \'est 
Pocket Dictionaries, English-German, German-English 
(both in one book), i8 cents; postage costs 2 cents extra. 
(German is the most widely spread and economical language 
of Europe. The knowledge of only a few words gives you 
low-priced, clean, comfortable hotels everywhere on the 
continent. Many German hotels in Italy.) Hill's **French 
and **Italian Dictionaries are the same price. By all means 
buy these three books. Buy *"Tourists' Guide to the Conti- 
nent," by Percy Lindley, for 15 cents, from H. J. Ketcham, 
362 Broadway, New York. Fine for Belgium, Holland, 
Germany, Switzerland, etc.; maps. *Send 15 cents to 
Brooklyn Daily Eagle for their good "Guide to Paris and All 
Principal Cities and Countries of Europe." All attractions, 
hours, prices, etc. It is concise and valuable. "Europe 
Viewed Through American Spectacles," C. C. Fulton; 
"Over the Ocean" and "Abroad Again," by Curtis Guild, 
and "How to Prepare for Europe," by H. A. Guerber. are the 
best of the longer descriptive books. John L. Stoddart's and 
Burton Holmes' Travel Lectures (at all libraries) are the 
best of all illustrated works. Ward, Lock & Co.'s ShiUing 
Guides (England), 400 pp., are fine for *London, and*Paris; 
also their half-crown (2}4 Sh.) *Switzerland; Holland; and 
Belgium. **The Borough Guides (2 D. each, 60 pp., map), 
at all railway stations, are very good for each Enghsh city. 
Mail home. 

New Baedeker's Guides for an ordinary European tour 
cost S34.65. Unapproached as guides, they are complex 
and costly for quick travelers; also troublesome to dis- 
pose of when used. Old or second-hand copies may be 
bought cheap at many booksellers here and abroad. Baede- 
ker's **"Northern Italy" is especially valuable owing to the 
great beauty and artistic richness of that territorj\ "Italy" 
(all in one volume) is not so good. 

Local guide books are nuisances after being used. Throw 
them away or mail home, as every pound counts in touring. 
Old travelers tear large guide books apart and carry small 
sections only for daily use. The Hamburg-x^merican Line 
publishes a *90o page "Guide through Europe." It is not 
sold, but is presented to patrons of their line only, and is 
very complete and valuable. Second-hand dealers occasion- 
ally have them. 

All lines of ships give Winter (low) prices from about 



EUROPEAN GUIDE ii 

October 15 to May i; the rest of the year Summer (io7o 
higher) prices prevail. *If you include beautiful Scotland 
(which will cost you a Uttle more, but which you will never 
regret), by all means land at * Glasgow. If you mclude 
Winchester, SaUsbury and the Isle of Wight, land at South- 
ampton If you wish a short interesting tour, land at Liver- 
pool Engage passage at least one month in advance and 
secure outside berth, sunny side, central. If not smted, the 
head steward will give you the best for a small additional sum. 

Go early to steward and engage a seat near the door at 
table If you secure a room on the right side of the boat 
going to Europe and the left side coming home you will get 
the most fresh air, thus preventing ilhiess *Eat and drink 
little the first dav or two. Ginger-ale with lemon-juice in it 
is the best remedy if seasick. Constantly walk the deck, it 
hardens you and keeps you well. Avoid steamer chairs, 
they induce sickness and are enervating. Few old travelers 
use them; they find many resting places about the deck. 
Try to land strong and vigorous and by all means *land in 
an English-speaking country. It gives you confidence and 
is a necessary beginning for an enjoyable, independent tour. 
Last meal before landing give your table waiter a moderate 
tip. Also any other person who has given you special atten- 
tion. Do not buy return ticket ; illness or accident may totally 
change your plans. April is the best month to sail — low 
rates, good weather; October and early November same 
conditions for return. ISIany lines allow free car ride to 
point of departure if within 200 miles or so (Philadelphia 
or New York to Boston, etc.). Ask for it and get it. 

Many steamship companies operate only one class ships. 
You have the entire freedom of the vessel ; very desirable and 
congenial if you can spare the time. The price of passage is 
low, the food furnished both liberal and of good quality, as 
*the captain and head officers eat at your table. One class 
sKips are clean, well appointed, the officers friendly, and there 
is no formality or unnecessary attention given to dress. 

**It is really first class traveling for a second class price 
and is infinitely to be preferred by persons of moderate means. 

The author's experience in traveling second class on many 
two class ships has been *second class food, *poorly cooked. 
No officer or very minor ones eat at these tables; this tells 
the tale. Among the very best of one class ships is the 
*Allan Line. Boston-Glasgow (by far the best entry port), 
about 10 days. Numidian and Parisian, each 5000 tons, 
$45 -oo. 



12 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

*This line is specially commended for its good food, 
cleanliness and low prices. Free transportation allowed from 
Philadelphia or New York to Boston (or vice versa), with 
stop-offs if demanded. From New York to Boston by 
Fall River Line (magnificent boats, on which secure $i.oo 
stateroom for two by applying early in day at Fall River 
Line office). They also sell ten-day 25 Sh. Tourist tickets by 
*Great Northern railway to London (this is a good Eastern 
route), stop-offs at Edinburgh, Melrose, Hexham, Newcastle, 
Durham, York, Grantham (for Lincoln), Peterborough 
(Cambridge is a little off the line but well worth seeing), 
London. The best ticket, however, is a Joint Line Ticket 
(Great Northern and Great Eastern); it covers all these cities 
without any extra payment. 

A, Great Northern and Great Eastern Joint Line ten-day 
25 Sh. Tourist Ticket is good for any station on the line of 
route, Glasgow, *Edinburgh, Melrose, Hexham, Newcastle, 
*Durham, *York, *Lincoln, *Peterborough, *Ely, *Cam- 
bridge, London. These tickets may be bought in Glasgow 
or in London. 

The Great Eastern Railway issues ten-day Tourist Tickets 
9,t low rates at Liverpool for London with stop-offs at Man- 
chester, *Lincoln, *Ely (Peterborough is very near), and 
*Cambridge. 

Tourist ticket Glasgow to Liverpool, with stop-offs, 15 Sh. 
In *Chester (a few miles from Liverpool) a *Great Western 
railway ten-day Tourist ticket to London may be bought 
for T6^ Sh. Stop-offs at Shrewsbury, Birmingham (pay 
small fare to *Lichfield with its fine cathedral, rich without, 
exquisite within), *Warwick, Leamington (pay small fare to 
Stratford-on-Avon), **Oxford (be sure to see this city), 
Reading (beautiful Salisbury and Winchester are quite near), 
♦Windsor to London. Thus the most attractive of all trips, 
including lovely Scotland, on one of the best steamship lines 
will only cost about $50.00. **You will find friendliness, 
safety, one-class only, good food, the best location, and no 
formality, far preferable to speed and size with many limi- 
tations in every other respect. If round-trip ticket is bought, 
5% discount is allowed on return portion. Boston office of 
Allan Line, no State Street. American Line (*Philadelphia 
service only), Philadelphia-Queenstown-Liverpool. Haver-

Cahforma, Columbia, and Cameronia; second cabin, $50.00 
up. Free transportation Philadelphia or Boston to New York 
c>r vice versa; low rates to London. 

INIany fine, low-priced, one class only, steamship lines run 
from Montreal, Canada to *Glasgow, Liverpool, South- 
ampton and London. The sea passage is short, only four or 
five days, and the trip to Buffalo, Niagara, Toronto, the 
Thousand _ Islands, and Montreal is very attractive. All 
the following are good, one-class ships. 

*Allan Line to Glasgow: Pretorian and Scandinavian, 
S47.50. Allan Line to Havre and London: Ionian, *Lake 
Erie, Corinthian and Sicilian, $45.00 and $47.50; all good.

Cunard Line to London, $45.00 (returns from South- 
ampton). 

Donaldson Line to Glasgow, S47.50. 

WTiite Star Line to Liverpool, "The Canada," $50.00. 

Any person voyaging on ships lower tjaan second cabin 
takes very great chances of disease, etc. Raymond & 
Whitcomb Company, 225 Fifth Avenue, New York, _ will 
send you for a 2-cent stamp a "Traveler's Condensed Guide," 
giving j'ou all lines of ships and dates of sailing. 

**Do not take a tnmk with you. It will spoil your entire 
trip. It will be an endless nuisance. It will directly and 
indirectly cost you hundreds of dollars. Ever>^ one will 
bleed you; and it must be constantly handled, checked, car- 
ried, and coddled by railway porters, cabmen, hotel porters, 
both to and from hotels (you must tip all) ; and it will prob- 
ably be either lost, broken or robbed. It puts you in the 
avaricious hands of all hotel proprietors. In nearly every 
European country you pay for every mile a trunk is carried, 
besides paying your fare. It is also very troublesome at 
every station (each city having different rules), and at all 
frontiers. As it is totally unnecessary, do not take a trunk. 



14 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

(If it must accompany you, store it soon after landing and 
return for it; or you may buy a cabin trunk in London on 
your return trip and fill it there.) **Instead of a trunk take 
one or two dress suit cases, moderate sized (not over 14 inches 
high), fairly strong, not too new. Old bags are best, as 
custom of35cers rarely examine them. (Throw them wide open 
on the counter at all frontier stations; the officer lifts one 
edge of the contents and chalks them through. Do not rub 
the chalk marks.) Also take a black-cloth hand-bag, about 
12 inches square. Carry toilet articles, night clothes, etc., 
in this. **The instant you arrive at a railway station, any- 
where in Europe, always check your dress suit case at the 
cloakroom (English name for parcel-room) for i or 2 cents 
a day. In France check at "Bureau de Bagages" (package- 
room). In Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, check 
at "Handgepack." In Austria at "Handgepack" or "Gar- 
derobe." In Italy at "Deposito." You are thus instantly 
rid of your luggage, and it is where it is needed for your 
future journey. It is perfectly safe in any railway's care. 
Have your name only, without address (or it may be for- 
warded somewhere), written by yourself, on dress suit case 
tag, so you can identify it at any time. By giving the parcel 
man a penny you may have access to contents at any time 
without rechecking. Carry your small hand-bag. You are 
now free to leave the station and go anywhere quickly with- 
out expense or importunity by carriage and hotel men. 

**Hand baggage only is allowed on all cheap week-end, 
special, Sunday and holiday trips. With a trunk you can 
receive no benefit from any of these. They often take you 
just where you wiSh to go and at a very great saving. 

**A strong German leather hand-bag called a "markt- 
tasche" may be bought for one mark in any German city. 
**Carry one by all means; it stamps you as a German. 
You then secure what all Germans insist on — low rates, 
good fare, cleanliness and careful attention. Try it. The 
Germans are recognized by all as the most business-like 
tourists. 

A few words regarding clothes. For men: serge or light- 
weight suit; light overcoat; double-soled, vici kid shoes, with 
polishing outfit (quickly shine your own shoes and avoid tips, 
talk, time, and trouble). Hotel keepers always look at your 
feet when you ask their terms. If you wear shoes bought in 
Germany^ you will get the best accommodations for the 
lowest price. Their footwear is durable and very moderate 
and a pair of shoes will quickly pay for themselves. For 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 15 

women: serge, long coat suit; easy thick-soled vici kid shoes. 
*Dark shirtwaists are far preferable. Plain, durable 
clothing shows the experienced traveler; fancy, light, delicate 
apparel indicates inexperience and prices are raised accord- 
ingly. 

In traveling be sure to see the great capitals; they are the 
centre of each country's life. Germany, being recently con- 
federated, has Berlin and also many smaller capitals. 

The only proper, artistic, common-sense, and economical 
ways to see Europe follow. ^^Detailed journeys are given 
under each separate country.) Do not alter these quick, 
direct routes, or you will lose time, money, interest, and

Halle, Jena, *\Veimar Erfuth, Gotha, Eisenach, **Cassel, 
Gottingen, Goslar, Hildesheim, Brunswick, Hannover thence 
•■[0 Dusseldorf, etc., is somewhat longer, but much more 
beautiful. 

Take with you a half-dozen, unmounted, half-length 
photographs of yourself. They must be attached to railway 
abonnements and save you much money. Size, 23.^ by 1% 
iuches; face should be fairly large. 

Third-class railway travel is good enough for any one. 
The large centre-corridor cars are being generally adopted. 
The passengers are orderly, decent and clean. Short jour- 
aeys may be made to try each class in all countries. All 
cities mentioned are perfectly safe. European travel is very 
easy, cheap and comfortable if you do not cover a great 
distance in one journey. Again, buy no tours, hotel coupons, 
or Rundreise tickets. It is best to engage room or room and 
breakfast only. It is often inconvenient and costly to room 
and take all meals at one house. Bathrooms are scarce. A 
large pitcher of hot water may be had free anywhere. It is 
easy to locate in small towns; much harder in large cities. 

Pensions (boarding-houses) generally wish travelers to 
stay for some little time; some, however, arrange for transient 
trade. Lodgings are good in England. When France is 
reached, and in subsequent touring, hotels are just as reason- 
able in pfice and much better in every way for quick travelers. 
Always favor hotels where terms for room and meals are given 
in advertisements; you can then ask for room at their ad- 
vertised price. 

Keep your foreign bill of fare (menu) when you dine and 
study it. **Be sure to get a dated receipt for all moneys 
paid on printed card of hotel wherever 3^ou stop. (Receipts 
are generally given for all payments, even street car fares.) 
You thus have a complete and valuable record of your entire 
trip. *Give very few tips, and only a few pennies then. 
Two or three pennies, twenty or thirt^^ centimes or twenty or 
thirty pfennigs are sufficient for a meal for two (this is about 



i8 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

what the natives give). When leaving your hotel give your 
room attendant a similar daily amount in one sum. (For a 
week's stay for two a franc.) 

In an ordinary European tour you will find the cities, the 
houses and the rooms scrupulously clean. Conveniences for 
travelers abound everywhere; in some of these a verj- small 
charge is made. In some parts of Europe three or more ad- 
jacent houses have the same number; look for name of hotel 
as well as number. Alcohol is sold everywhere for about 6 
cents per pint, so nearly all old travelers carry and use a 
small alcohol stove; it ingeniously folds up and occupies little 
space. It heats water quickly (thus preventing calling, 
troubling, and tipping servant), makes a hot drink and can 
furnish a meal. Cooked food is sold at many shops and is of 
fine quahty, and a meal may be eaten at home without wait- 
int in restaurants. Always ask direction of street given in 
this book, never name hotel or you will have a guide to pay. 
Five-sixths of all sights in cities and countries may be 
easily seen and at Kttle expense, the remaining one-sixth is 
costly, troublesome and is often not worth the time wasted 
on it. Try to exercise a wise discretion. If a show or exhibi- 
tion is held in a large city, see it. If it is in a remote little 
town avoid it or you will pay dearly. In Europe (especially 
*Germany) before seating yourself to dine, politely bow or 
acknowledge your table companions. 

*In many cases (not always) a room for two (on the con- 
tinent with two beds) is in less proportion than for one. 
Thus Hotel du Port, 21 Quai Van Dyck (on river front, near 
cathedral), Antwerp, quotes room with one bed, 2Y1 Fr.; 
with two beds, 3 to 5 Fr. Grand Hotel des Boulevards, 9 
Place de la Communes (near station), Antwerp, quotes 
room with one bed, 2^-2 Fr.; with two, 3 Fr. *Two persons 
traveling together secure most favorable terms. *Be quick 
in getting on and off trains; it secures you seats, the best side 
of the car, and you can check your baggage instantly. 

Nature's beauty spots in Europe are in many lands, and an 
effort is here made to mention them so they may be visited 
on the ordinary tour. 

Best known are the lake regions of Ireland (near Killarney) ; 
of England (near Windermere) ; of **Scotland (near Glasgow) ; 
of **Switzerland (near Lucerne, Geneva, Zurich, Constance, 
Interlaken, etc.) ; of **Northern Italy (near Lugano, Como, 
Iseo, Locarno, Orta, and Riva); of the Austrian **Salz- 
kammergut (near Gmunden, Mondsee, Aussee, St. Wolfgang, 
Ischl and Salzburg); and the *French Riviera (the Mediter- 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 19 

ranean coast, the most enchanting spot being Monte Carlo) ; 
and the **ItaHan Riviera from San Remo to Pisa. 

♦Edinburgh, *Salzburg, Innsbruck, Orvieto, Perugia (and 
other old hill towns of Italy), *Naples (with its lovely coast 
and surrounding islands *Ischia, Procida, and *"Capri); 
*Taormina and ^Palermo, Sicily are all superbly located. 

The most easily reached and striking places on and near 
your tour are *Mont St. Michel (called the most picturesque 
spot in Europe), on the Northern French coast near *St. Malo, 
Bayeux, Caen, strange Vitre, and lovely Jersey, Guernsey 
and Sark; Heidelberg; Baden-Baden and Wiesbaden (the 
most beautiful German watering places), Meissen (near 
Dresden), ancient Rothenburg in Bavaria, Fritzlar (near 
Cassel), Prague, Bohemia, Elbogen, near Marienbad, AmalS 
and *Ravello, near Naples; Assisi; *San Gimignano, near 
*Siena; * Venice; Tivoh near Rome, and Cortina in the Aus- 
trian Tyrol. More remote and still more beautiful are Le 
Puy; *Rocomadour and medieval Carcassone in Southern 
France; Cintra, near Lisbon; Granada, Toledo and Ronda, 
Spain; Fez, Morocco; Schassburg, Austria; and *Ragusa 
and Cattaro, I>almatia. 

*See Washington, on your way East if possible, as a seat 
of government it is unique. The **Capitol is striking and 
magnificent; the Houses of Congress most interesting, es- 
pecially if the members are in session; the **Library of 
Congress is generally admitted to be one of the most beautiful 
of modern buildings. 

**Niagara Falls should be visited, if near, on your Eastern 
trip; it is the most impressive sight in the civilized world.

priced, one-class, steamships to Europe.

Europe (practically a "Baedeker"), and gives all hotels for 
each city, with terms, routes for all countries and places. 
It is \-ery valuable; insist on having one at offices Royal 
Belgian State Railway, 72 Regent Street, W., near Trafalgar

Dover-Ostend sea tickets, and also Belgian Government 
Railway abonnements. So secure information about these 
and the guide. Also get *Belgian Time Tables and Tourist's 
Programme, 145 pages, at offices, free. 

London is the best place in the world for men's clothes 
and men's and women's gloves and notions. If you buy 
anything, order on your first or second day, so as not to be 
detained in London. Do not buy low-priced men's suits 
displayed in show windows; if you do, you will be greatly 
disappointed: they will be of poor quality and cut and will 
wear badly. Go to ** Alfred Webb Miles & Co., 6 to 1 2 Brook 
Street, Hanover Square, W. (You will be perfectly welcomed 
to inspect without buying.) Suits, £3 3 Sh.; 120 patterns, 
all styles. Cut and materials perfection. Good for many 
years' wear and of the highest possible grades. Buy all men's 
clothes here. *Alderton & Sons, 98 Cheapside (near St.

Candlemaker's'Row). Notice the statue just outside the 
entrance erected by Baroness Burdette-Coutts to Grey- 
friars' Bobby. This faithful Scotch terrier stayed at his 
master's grave from 1858 until his own death in 1872.

ENGLAND (EASTERN) 

From Edinburgh south by rail to Melrose and AbbottS- 
ford, Newcastle (which may also be reached by boat from 
Edinburgh), and the great cathedral city of 

DURHAM: The cathedral (partly Romanesque and 
partly Gothic) is very old and rich and is the most grandly 
situated in England, on the heights above the town. Neville 
Hotel (2 minutes to I. station down hill), opposite 68 North 
Road; room, 2 Sh. The Rose and Crown Hotel, i Silver

Day in Durham" is a good guide, i D. 

YORK: A very interesting walled city and a great out- 
post of the Romans; many remains of their reign have been 
exhumed. Burn's Hotel, Tanner Row; room, i and 114 Sh. 
Full board, 4 Sh. (opposite 28 Tanner Row, i minute to 1.

Bell Hotel, 89 Micklegate; room, iH and 2 Sh.; good. 
The cathedral is large and impressive, the Chapter House 
the most beautiful in England, the stained glass rich and 
extensive. 

John Heywood's "Guide to York," i D., 32 pages, map; 
gives all details. Buy it from Miss Chapman at Minster 
Gates. *Notice the ancient street called Stone Gate at East 
of cathedral. 



30 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

LINCOLN: The cathedral is probably the noblest in 
England; it is conceded to be the most perfect by all archi- 
tects. Waverly Hotel, High Street (3 minutes from station); 
moderate, good. 

PETERBOROUGH: The great cathedral is mostly 
Romanesque. *It has a remarkable West facade (front) of 
three vast arches; unique in England. House's Commercial 
Hotel, 28 Narrow Street (centre of city); room, 2 Sh.; good. 
Golden Lion Hotel, 34 Narrow Street; room, 2 Sh. City 
Temperance Hotel, 4 Broadway (corner Bishop's Road); 
rt)om, 13/2 Sh.; good. 

ELY: The cathedral is grand (only Lincoln and York 
excel it), the Lady Chapel is exquisite. The famous octagon 
over the choir is very striking, unfortunately, however, it is 
not of stone. Turner's City Hotel, Market Place, room, 2 Sh. 
Pension, 4 Sh. 6 D. 

CAMBRIDGE: A sylvan, beautiful city second only 
to Oxford; the colleges and the "Backs" (lawns leading down 
to the river) are very attractive. See the superb fan tracery 
(only seen in England) on the vaulting (ceiUng) of *King's 
College Chapel. This is one of the tliree great examples, the 
others being Henry the Seventh's Chapel, Westminster 
Abbey, London (which is rich in the tombs of many kings 
and queens), and the Royal Chapel at Windsor. 

Livingstone Temperance Hotel, 16 Petty Cury (near 
Christ's College); room, 2,1 2 Sh. Sirdar Hotel, 14 ^Market 
Street (near Town Hall); room, 2}^ Sh. Bird Bolt Tem- 
perance Hotel, St. Andrew's Street (opposite Emmanuel 
College'); low. 

LONDON: (See before.) King's Cross Station. Take 
underground railway to Edgware Road for a good location or 
Russell Square may be visited. *Albion Hotel, 145 Gray's 
Inn Road is near (2 minutes from station by electric car or 
five minutes, walk); room and breakfast, 2j^ Sh.; good. 

France should be visited after England. The inhabitaiits 
disdain the English language, and make no effort to acquire 
it. They are polite if you try to speak French, as you com- 
pliment them by your efforts; otherwise they are very inat- 
tentive. Never use any but the native language of a country 
or a language used in part by the people. Discard English 
from now on. By speaking a few words of German, it is 
very easy to get along in Belgium, Holland, Germany, Aus- 
tria, Switzerland, and at many German hotels in Italy. 
Three or four short phrases and a few odd words, say thirty 
in all, are suflficient. In Italy very little Italian is needed; the

32 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

*From now on be extremely polite. Touch or raise your 
hat on any inquiry or give military salute and thank all 
who respond to your inquiries. It is an "open sesame" 
to many beautiful things you would not otherwise see. 

Police officers are nearly always near at hand, but they 
need not answer your questions; *they are only obliged to 
preserve order. However, if you address them in a polite, 
friendly way they will help you all they can. 

♦Always eat continental breakfasts — coffee and rolls. 
Do not try to order anything else, as this is all they have 
facilities for serving early in the day. Get used to it. As 
drinking-water is not used to any extent on the continent 
(although you can get it if you ask for it anywhere, and it 
is almost always pure and good), a few words of explanation 
may be given regarding beverages. IMany of the French 
wines are transportable without injury and are adulterated; 
of inferior quality and dear. The best wines are quietly 
bought up by the rich. Italian wines are ruined if trans- 
ported; consequently they are local, low in price, pure and 
fine. In Germany and other countries the beers are health- 
ful and good ("liunkel," dark; "Hell," light). 

As meals are generally served at very moderate prices, the 
hotel keeper looks for a little profit on the wine or beer con- 
sumed. Say "alles zusammen" (in Germany and Austria) if 
you wish two or more meals served together, as they often 
serve each order separately. 

The railways seem determined to get as much from you 
as possible on the London-Paris trip, or else make it un- 
comfortable for you. Third class at reasonable rates runs 
only at night, though good 7 days with stop-off privileges. 

The Xewhaven-Dieppe-Rouen route (London, Brighton, 
and South Coast Railway, Victoria Station), which is very 
attractive, costs 28 Sh. for second-class day tickets, good for 
stopping at Rouen (which you should see by all means). 
If 3^ou are able and willing to stop off at this great medieval 
city at 4.31 a. m. and resume your journey one or two days 
after at the same time, you may buy third-class ticket to 
Paris for 18 Sh. 7 D., a very great saving. *The London, 
Brighton and South Coast Railway, Victoria Station, London, 
sells third-class excursion tickets (notice these are cheaper 
than single fares) to Paris for 17 Sh., leaving Victoria Station 
at 8.45 p. m. Saturdays only. You may return, if you wish, 
at 9.20 p. m. Sunday only. The journey cannot be broken 
en route. (Second-class tickets, 22 Sh. 6 D.) Secure a free 
copy of their Continental Time Book. It contains maps of 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 33 

many French Zone Tickets (Normandy, Brittany, etc.), also 
of other countries. This company also issues cheap third- 
class tickets to Dieppe, for 14 Sh. g D.; to Rouen for 15 Sh, 
8 D.; second class (day service), to Dieppe, 20 Sh.; third' 
class fare, Dieppe to Rouen, 3 Fr.; third-class fare, Rouen 
to Paris, 5 Fr. 30 Cent. The third-class boat accommodations 
are poor, but you are on them only a few hours; if clear stay 
on deck. 

Get handbills, etc., from Continental Manager, Victoria 
Station. The London and South Western Railway, Waterloo 
Station, London, sells second-class (24 Sh.) tickets to Paris 
(no third class), by Souiha ir.jtoii "fJavre, Rouen, every 
night, except Sunday, all year round. Fast, comfortable 
steamers; baths, cabin berths, etc., no extra charge. As 
stop-offs are allowed everywhere, this is a fine opportunity to 
see Havre, with its beautiful surroundings (Honfleur, Trou- 
ville, etc.), and Rouen. This route has fine scenery. See 
London and South ^\'estern Railway Guide. It is free. Thv^ 
South Eastern and Chatham Railway, Charing Cross Station, 
London, issues third-class (20 Sh.) week-end tickets to Paris 
every Saturday, leaving London at g p. m. Returning from 
Paris Monday at 8.20 a. m. See handbills and gratuitous 
*Continental Time Tables; S. E. and C. Railway, yellow 
pages at end of book. 

(*This book contains fine **map of Paris, with all attrac- 
tions very plainly shown. Go get one.) 

Probably the best and cheapest ticket is that of the London, 
Brighton and South Coast Railway from Victoria Station 
(near Westminster Abbey) to **Rouen. A single ticket by 
the 8.45 p. m. train (this is the only train) costs 15 Sh. 8 D. 
Rouen is reached at 4.31 a. m. (**Rouen should surely be 
seen.) Third-class ordinary trains run from here to the St. 
Lazare station (sometimes called Gare L'Ouest). Paris, at 
all hours; fare 5 Fr. 30 Cent. See Index in L. B. & S. C. 
♦Continental Time Book for Train Service, Dieppe and Paris 
(via Rouen), about page 62. 

FRANCE 

The grandest Gothic structures in France (probably 
Elurope) are the Palais Justice and St. Ouen in Rouen; 
Notre Dame, Paris, and the cathedrals at Rouen, Amiens, 
Chartres, Bourges, Rheims, Laon, Coutances, Beauvais, and 
Bayeux. Hence the necessity for visiting Rouen. In stop- 
ping at your first French city *check bag as usual at the 



34 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

"Bureau de Bagages." Always stop at cities en route; make 
the most of your trip. 

DIEPPE : Beaufort House, 6 Rue Toustain. Moderate. 
Brau's Pension, 32 Rue Gambetta. Pens. 6 Fr.; room, 2 Fr. 
Magnificent shore; high cUffs. The bathing costumes at 
Dieppe, Ostend, and at Lido (Venice) are the most charm- 
ing in Europe. 

HAVRE m.ay be visited. Normandy Hotel, 106 Rue de 
Paris (central), room, 3 Fr. Gd. Hotel Parisien (opposite 
station); room, 2 Fr. Hotel d'Angleterre, Rue de Paris, 124 
and 116; room, 3 Fr. Say to proprietor, poUtely (politeness 
saves money). Monsieur! un chambre, avec deux lits, pour 
trois (quatre) (francs)? (Have you) a room with two beds 
for three (four) francs? INIortrez moi. Show me. **As you 
have no baggage, always pay your room rent in advance and 
receive receipt on card of hotel. Eat where you please. You 
thus ha\c no necessity for tipping. 

*ROUEN: (Better stop two days at this fine old city 
which is one of the most interesting, both historicallj' and 
architecturally, in all France.) Hot Victoria, 10 Rue Verte 
(i minute to 1. of station); room, 2J-2 Fr. Hotel de Nor- 
mandie. Rue de Bee, 9-13; room, 23/0 Fr.; pens.; 7J^2 Fr. 
M. Panel, Family Hotel, 18 Rue Nationale; pens.; 43^ to 6 Fr. 
per day. **The Cathedral and **St. Guen are fine Gothic 
structures; St. Maclou and the *Palais de Justice very note- 
worthy. Rouen contains sixteen great examples of the 
Gothic and is the most important town for medieval archi- 
tecture in France. The ISIusee de Peintures contains over 
six hundred pictures; many of them masterpieces. **Take 
electric cars (20 centimes) to church Bon Secour; beautiful 
view. Take early train to 

PARIS, arriving at Gare (station) St. La^are. Check 
bag at "Bureau de Bagages," outside of the station, to the 
left. (It has many checking rooms.) Walk to Rue St. 
Lazare (one minute in front of station) and take black 
electric car on far side of Rue St. Lazare, going toward East 
to Gare du Nord (see sign on car). Write on card "Hotel 
Maison Meuble," 32 Rue des Petit-Hotels, and show to con- 
ductor. Give him 10 centimes, and in ten minutes he will 
stop at the street for you. Grand church St. Vincent de 
Paul fronts this street, which is two minutes from the Gare 
du Nord, and at 108 Rue de Lafayette. Say to A. Porraz, 
proprietor, "Chambre meubles, monsieur?" He will say, 
"Qui," and show you. ij^ to 2 Fr. per day; fun franc cin- 
Quante (pronounced songkont) centimes (sawnteem) a deux

Fr. per month. Hotel de Valicennes, 18 Rue des Petit- 
Hotels; room, 2 Fr. (Grand Bains (Baths) Magenta within.) 
Good. Hotel Nord Est, 12 Rue des Petit-Hotels; room, 1]^ 
and 2 Fr.; 16 Fr. per month. All clean, fine hotels; only 
known to the French; consequently low priced. Buy break- 
fast at E. Coulon's, 2 Boulevard Denain (one block away); 
fine coffee "au lait" (with milk), deUcious rolls — 30 to 50 
centimes for all. Eat out on the Boulevard as all French do 
here. The Metropolitan underground exit is just at hand at 
corner Rue Lafayette; the entrance is one block above. It 
is a great time saver, reaches every part of Paris and is low 
priced; 25 centimes for first class, 15 centimes for second class. 
It touches all railway stations and you can carry hand-bags 
free. A small MetropoUtan guide costs 10 centimes at q8 
Rue de Hauteville. Notice **St. Vincent de Paul in the 
Greek style and formerly in colors. It is a remarkable effort. 
At 75 Boulevard de Magenta (far end of Rue des Petit- 
Hotels) the Faubourg St. Denis, a big busy street, runs to 
centre of city. Rue D "Hauteville (in front of St. Vincent de 
Paul) leads to centre of city, or take white bus marked Gare 
du Nord-Place d'Alma, it is half-price if you sit on top and 
you see more. Just West of the Rue D 'Hauteville is Rue de 
Faubourg Poisonniere, a busy main street often crowded by 
clerks and salesladies who use it as a direct route to centre of 
city. (Its continuation leads to the great Halles Centrales 
(markets), the Louvre, Pont Neuf, He de la Cite, Notre Dame, 
etc., the most interesting part of Paris, both historically and 
architecturally). **Restaurant de la Jeune France, 75 Rue 
de Faubourg Poisonniere (3 minutes from Rue des Petit- 
Hotels) gives the finest meal in the city for i Fr. 10 centimes, 
consisting of Potage (soup), or Hors-d'Oeuvre (appetizer 
such as Pate de fois Gras, which is very good), one Plat de 
viande (any roast or stew with vegetable), one Legume ou 
Poisson (one plate of special vegetable or an order of fish), 
one dessert (many varieties), one pint bottle of very good 
quality and strong red or white wine {14 bout Vin. rouge ou 
blanc), beer (biere) or milk (lait). An unlimited amount of 
bread (about a yard) is furnished. Elegantly appointed, 
good service, clean napkins, cloths, etc. Large upper floor 
for ladies. Extra orders cost from 10 to 40 centimes. Restau- 
rant Pigeat, 58 Rue de Paradis (one minute from here) also 
gives a good meal for i Fr.; the surroundings are plainer 
however. Many hotels near here. Notice the fine art work

*The Grand Guignol, 20 bis Rue Chaptal (near Gare St. 
Lazare) is the theatre that gives you the most thrills for your 
money. The plays are extremely reaUstic, so do not go 
unless you have strong nerves. It is an unique institution. 
Admission, 5 Fr. Many fine costumes are shown. Paris

From now on you will use the following German words 



EUROPE.\N GUIDE 39 

constantly in all countries except perhaps Italy (although 
many German hotels are in ItaUan cities), so they are here 
repeated. (These are about all the words and phrases you 
need to know.) 

Haben sie ein zimmer mit ein bett? (Zwei betten?) Have 
j^ou a room with one bed? (Two beds?) (For two persons 
two beds are nearly always provided; sometimes a large bed 
(ein grosser bett) is offered apologetically.) 

Was ist costa mit f riihstiick? What is the cost (of the room) 
with breakfast? It is always best to ask for breakfast with 
room; it is given at a much lower price, and is generally ex- 
pected to be taken with the room. 

Zeigen sie mir. Show me. Est ist gut. It is good. If 
you think you can do better say: Ich \xi\\ sehen (I will see), 
so i'ou can return if not otherwise suited. 

If the proprietor says Es ist alles besetzt. (It is all occu- 
pied), all the rooms are taken, so look elsewhere. In the 
morning the hotel proprietor may say Bleiben sie? Will 
you stay? You must then say Ja (yes), Xein (no), or Ich 
will sehen. Geben sie mir dieser (give me this), and desig- 
nating will bring 3-ou any food or drink on the bill of fare. 
Strasse or str. means street. 

Use these few German phrases from now on. 

BELGIUM 

^Belgium is the Italy of the North; it is rich artistically 
and architecturally, having largely escaped the terrible de- 
struction which accompanies wars, rebellions and religious 
fanatacism. It is of small area, yet contains great treasures 
of art. The Flemish School of painting embraced the great 
Rubens, a prince of painters, and his renowned assistant, 
Van Dyck; Jacob Jordaens, vigorous and exuberant; Gas- 
pard de Grayer, and many others. 

COURTRAI is an interesting old city where a 5- or is-day 
Belgian abonnement may be bought; (they may be bought 
in any Belgian city). Five days unlimited travel over 3000 
miles of railway costs 30?! Fr., first class; 2oi/^ Fr., second 
class: ii^i Fr.. third class. 15-day tickets cost double these 
amounts. *"The Tourist's Guide to the Continent" by 
Percy Lindley, is valuable from now on. Hotel des Flanders

de Gand (at station); room, 2 Fr. Hotel de Nord (opposite

Cathedral, a church of the front rank and one of the most 
splendid monuments in Belgium. Hotel Belle-Vue (opposite

or, as it is always called, Hotel de Ville) ; room, 2 Fr. Hotel de 
la Pomme DOr, Grand Place (opposite Town Hall); room

one of the most monumental of its period. 

OSTEND: Ship Hotel, 19 S. Petrus en Paulus Plaat; 
room, 23-2 Fr. Good, new (2 minutes to railway station; near 
Dover-Ostend Quai). Windsor Castle Hotel, No. 10 Ditto;

Thursdays and Sundays at 1 2 noon from Ostend to London, 
and from London to Ostend on \\ednesdays and Saturdays

land at St. Katherine's Wharf, Tower Bridge, London, in 
nine hours. Two meals on board cost 3 Sh. 6 D. for both, or 
you may carr>' lunch. All one class; every convenience; 
recommended for its cheapness and good service. It is a

*The Patissiere, E 27 Groot Markt (facing the Belfry); room 
and breakfast, 3 Fr. (5 Fr. for two). Pretty and new. This 
antique city (the most interesting in Europe outside of Italy) 
is very rich artistically. It is the Northern Venice with its 
silent canals; the Northern Florence with its striking archi- 
tecture and its *complete cycle of Flemish art. The cathedral 
shows many treasures; *Notre Dame contains Michael 
Angelo's **Madonna and Child, a small, exquisite marble 
group executed about 1504- This is absolutely his own work 
and will repay careful study. Notice Van Dyck's Cruci- 
fixion to the right; also Van Cost's two fine pictures. The 
bronze tombs of Charles the Bold and Mary of Burgundy are 
very elaborate, but hardly worth one franc to see them. 

See rich St. Jacques church (on Rue St. Jacques; 2 minutes 
from Belfry). ... . ,t 

**Pay I Fr. to see Memling's gallery of pamtings m Hos- 
pice St. Jean. 

**Pay so centimes for entrance to Academy of Fine Arts. 
*Do not pay anything at any time to see veiled pictures m 
churches here or anywhere else. It is a miserable catch- 
penny scheme. You will see enough old masters without 
them. Ruben's works are hung by hundreds all over Europe. 
Pay only for seeing galleries of paintings. Observe art work 
everywhere in the city.

GERMANY 

As the association of states called Germany occupies the 
centre of Europe and contain great artistic treasures, they 
are largely visited, and, owing to their intelligent, systematic 
efiforts, the traveler receives every benefit for little outlay. 

Perfect safety, honesty, courtesy, low railway fares, and 
good hotel accom.m.odations may be enjoyed everywhere. A 
society of associated hotel keepers, called "Verband Christ- 
licher Hospize," aim to give friendly welcome and the best 
returns for the ver\' moderate prices charged. They are open 
to all and are largely patronized by wise tourists and ladies 
traveling alone. Room and breakfast or entire pension may 
be taken. As many persons will use these Hospiz exclusively 
after they have tried the first one, a complete unbroken list 
of their locations both in Germany and in other countries 
with their prices is given. Refer to this always.

DUSSELDORF: First thing buy (if not purchased 
before) "Storm's Kursbuch fiirs Reich gans Deutschland" 
for 80 Pf. This book is invaluable. All railways, time 
tables, prices of all fares, second, third, and fourth claso. 
It is particularly desirable for its list of hotels at all rates; 
they are reliable, as this is an official publication. See pink 
pages, end of book. Good, low-priced accommodation may 
be easily' secured throughout Germany, Switzerland and Italy, 
as traveling is very prevalent, these governments encourag- 
ing it in every manner possible. A word regarding "Storm'?. 
Kursbuch": On first page, fares from Aachen to Barmen are 
second class, 5 Mk. 80 Pf.; third class, 3.70 Mk.; fourth 
class (or personenzug), 2.40 Mk. (Fourth-class travel is like 
our electric street cars; seats generally run lengthwise; fare.s 
very low. About 40% of all Germans travel in this class. 
If you have little money, try fourth class; old travelers use 
it on many occasions.) In "Storm's Kursbuch" fourth- 
class trains are the slow trains, with a broken, dotted line 
to the left of the figures. They stop everywhere and are 
very handy. The map gives the number of page to refer to 
for time of trains between cities. Hotel Minerva, Kurfiir-

3 Mk. Hotel Quisisana, 44 a Ditto; room and breakfast, 
23^ Mk. It is always best to ask for room and breakfast 
(zimmer mit Friihstiick). It is given at a much lower price, 
and is generally expected to be taken with the room. Have 
your "Storm's Kursbuch" handy, as a reference to it holds 
the hotelkeeper to his advertised price. Pharus' Plans 
(20 to 50 Pf.) are issued for all large cities. Fine map and all 
streets and attractions given. '"Automat" lunch houses 
(where you help yourself) are good in both Germany and 
Switzerland; they are in almost every city. They are only at 
Milan in Italy. All kinds of foods and drinks (beers, wines, 
coffee, etc.). Many serve special lunches at tables from 11 to 
2 o'clock (soup, meat, three vegetables, coffee, dessert). 
Try it at Cologne. The price is generally from 70 Pf . to i Mk. 
All automats have retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen, 
usually very nicely appointed. Vienna, Austria, has many 
large automats. Throughout Germany Alcoholfrei (temper- 
ance) hotels and restaurants, which furnish good meals and 
nice, clean rooms at low prices are very numerous. They 
are supported by religious bodies opposed to drink, and are 
made especially attractive to overcome this habit. Plain 
Automat at Graf Adolf Str., corner Harkort Str. (2 minutes 
to 1. of station), meals all day. Central Hotel occupies floors 
above; room and breakfast, 2.50 Mk. 

Verkehr's Verein, 91 Graf- Adolf Str. Guide books to all

Sundays if possible; *all galleries, etc., free. Elberfeld is 
very near Dusseldorf, Going from there to Barmen you can 
ride on the unique electric cars supported from above and 
swinging over the river. Take a seat at the window and, as 
the car shoots at great speed round curves, you look into the 
water directly beneath. It gives you a new thrill and closely 
approaches an airship trip. The 5-mile run costs 10 Pf., 
third class.

desirable post.) First class goes to the rear. This arrange- 
ment is observed all over Europe. A word to the wise should 
be sufficient. IMeals and refreshments are served on board,

SWITZERLAND 

Enter Switzerland with a full knowledge of the advantages 
of the Swiss general abonnement. If you have only a short 
time for sightseeing, you may use a 15-day Swiss abonnement, 
allowing you to journey to Chiasso, near Milan, to make a 
quick 7- to ID-day trip through all Northern Italy, to return 
to Switzerland and then devote the remaining time of the 
abonnement to seeing Switzerland, omitting the following 
cities: Zug, Zurich, Constance, and St. Gall. 

Reach Lucerne late on the last day of abonnement and 
there return ticket and receive deposit. See Lucerne and 
surroundings leisurely and pay to visit Zug, Zurich, Constance, 
St. Gall, Bregenz, etc. (From Lindau, on Lake Constance, 
tour Bavaria and Austria). This small fare expense is well 
repaid by the additional time allowed in these important 
cities. A third-class abonnement costs 45 Fr. net for 15 days 
(70 Fr. for 30 days). 

The best use of a 15-day abonnement follows, have ticket 
dated a day ahead so as to start early. Take 7.25 a. m. train

from Basle (*right side), arriving at Chiasso, Como, or Milan 
about 5 p. m. 

Buy **Civelli's Guida Orario Generale pel Viaggiatore in 
Italia for 50 centimes at any station. See the sights in Milan, 
and v/hen leaving buy at the railway station one of the follow- 
ing Viaggi Circolari ItaUani, Xo. 53 (see maps at end of 
guide), for 2g.35 Lire, a 15 -day ticket good for a stop at all 
cities on the main line between jNIilan and Venice, then to 
Bologna, then to Milan. Xo. 106 costs 42.60 L., is good 
for 30 days and includes Milan, Verona, V^enice; extends to 
**Florence, Pisa, Genoa, Pavia, Milan, and is good for any 
city on the line between these points. This is probably the 
best ticket for Xorthern Italy. You may also buy for 40 L. 
*Bighetto di Abonnemento Speciali Series 4, good for 15 days 
unlimited travel to any and all cities between Milan, \^enice.

You may thus see all of Xorthern Italy and all of Switzer- 
land for about 88 Fr. for railway expenses. 

Unless your time is very limited do not use this method of 
sightseeing, as the return to the X^orth over the Brenner 
route from Verona to Innsbruck is only 12.20 L., and from 
Innsbruck to Munich, 4.70 Kronen. This is *very attractive 
and is the best return route. Switzerland can be very com- 
pletely and enjoy ably seen in 15 tlays and should be given that 
time. Italy needs 30 days at least for sightseeing; more if 
possible. 

BASLE contains the **finest and largest picture gallerj-

Hans Holbein the Younger's choice works. *Study this great 
German master carefully. Xotice the beauty of his portrait 
of Boniface Amberbach. Do not be offended by ''The Dead

over each route carefully. You lose 5 days (those spent in 
Milan) by choosing the latter. You, however, see Florence 
twice. Forty-five days is liberal time allowance; thirty days is 
enough; but it is best to take your time seeing Italy and see it 
well. If you wish to include Sicily (of which more hereafter), 
forty-five days is not too much time. No matter in what 
class you travel, first, second, or third, you save very largely 
using these tickets. Fifty Viaggi Circolari Italiani are given 
in this book with maps showing the main cities on each route. 
(You may stop at any small city between the main ones by 
simply stating the name to the station agent, who writes it on 
ticket.) Forty "Viaggi Circolari in Ferrovia e sui Laghi" 
(circular voyages on trains and lakes) are also given. The 
terms are very low. Viaggio *H. and numbers 11, 12, 19, 
19 bis, 23 and lower note 4 are very attractive. "H" is a 5-day 
tour of lake Garda from Descenzano with many stops for 5.10 
L. These tickets are sold in Milan. *A little native railway 
guide, '"L'lndicatore Generale nell 'alta Italia," costing 25 
centimes, gives many special tickets on the back of the 
enclosed map. They are very clearly stated and easy to 
understand. Please buy this cheap book. 

In Civelli's Guide you will also find "Biglietti di Abbona- 
mento Speciali" in back of book. These give unlimited 
travel within certain zones for a number of days; thus *Series 
4 gives 15 days unlimited travel to all cities between Milan, 
Venice, Rimini, Florence, Pisa and Milan for 40 L. third 
class; 65 L. second class. For 30 days, third class, 65 L.; 
second class, no L. *Series 13 unlimited travel all over 
Sicily for 7 days for 27 L. third class, etc. 

*The "Viaggi Circolari Italiani" may be prolonged 10 days 
overtime by paying 10 per cent, of the amount of ticket 
before it expires and further prolonged by paying i per cent, 
per day after that until the original time is doubled. Note 
this with«No. 116. Many steamship companies have agencies 
in Milan, among them are the White Star. Cunard, North 
German Lloyd, Hamburg- American and Italian Royal Mail 
lines. 

**Take car No. 6 to cemetery (Nuovo Cimitero), one of the 
grandest in Italy; the statuary is magnificent. All cemeteries

GERMANY (BAVARIA) 

Take risrht side of train to *Kufstein, Rosenheim, and 
_**MUNICH: This is a superb city; one cannot help ad- 
miring it; artistically it is in the very front rank. The great

Sendlinger Thor) see many dead persons under glass cases 
(a city law to prevent premature burial). 

Go to the busy market at Mariahilfer Kirche over the 
Tsar to the South and stop at the Franziskaner Leistbrau 
Kellar on the hill to the Northeast. Walk down the hill 
toward the Isar, cross the small bridge and find yourself in a 
wonderful little city of clean, antique, toy houses. This is 
called Paulaner Platz and it is one of the most remarkable 
specimens of pretty antiquity in Europe. The great beer 
halls are famous: the Hofbrauhaus fnear the Rathaus) is well 
worth seeine. The Fest Saal, up stairs, is ver>' large; the 
natives usually occupy the lower floor. Do likewise, as the 
beer is fresher; serve yourself. The Mathaser Bier Hall 
(5 Bayerstr., central) is very popular. *Pay nothing to enter 
beer halls-. AH serve good meals at low prices at any hour. 
You may buy the elaborate bills of fare (Speise kart) for 
10 Pf . each for souvenirs. You may also bring in lunch with 
you if you wish; many do so. All beers cost about 26 Pf. 
per litre. 

*The Jurj'frei picture exhibit (Sunday mornings only 
30 Pf.) is unconventional and worth seeing.

wood architecture. Take tram car; the main city is one- half 
hour's walk from station. Gasthaus zur Rose, 15 Donau 
Str. (just over Danube bridge); room, iH Mk. Hotel-Rest.

carved wooden front. 

Take car to Saal only, then local train to Kelheim for 
the great "Hall of Liberation," only a few minutes' ride. 
Both this and "Walhalla"' are grand monumental works; 
*Sch\vanthaler's genius is embodied in both. 

REGENSBURG (Ratisbon) is perhaps the most ancient 
city in Germany. It is very antique (Nuremberg is entirely 
modern compared with it), its aspect from the bridge crossing 
the Danube is remarkably medieval. The people are primi- 
tive, oxen are almost universally used as beasts of burden, 
and geese in enormous numbers whiten the green fields. It 
is the finest city of the early German Gothic, as is Nuremberg 
of the later German Gothic, and Augsburg of the German 
Renaissance. It is the second most important city archi- 
tecturally in Germany, being to the Danubian architecture 
what Cologne is to the Rhine. 

*It has a famous cathedral and twenty churches. The 
cathedral interior is most impressive, the *West front grand 
(by many claimed to be the most magnificent in Germany), 
its two great towers are noble, it contains much beautiful 
old stained gllass and it has very extensive cloisters which do 
not join the church. Hotel Weidenhof, 21 Maximilian Str.

28 Maximilian Str. (3 minutes from station); room, 1.80 Mk.

Gasthof Gold. Stem, 9 Maximilian Str.; room, 2 Mk. The 
immense fresco of David and Goliath, covering the building 
on Goliath Str. facing Bruckstr. Cat clock tower near bridge), 
is a wonderful piece of work. At 3 Krautcrmarkt. (i minute 
to left cathedral) the great Bischofshof Brauerie produces a 
famous dark beer which the natives claim excels that of 
Munich. It is very fine and costs 26 Pf. per litre. The Jesuit- 
enbrauerie, Obermiinsterplatz (to left of station), is also very 
famous. 

**Go to "Walhalla" surely. It is open 9 to 12.30 and 2 to 7 
and is free. *Do not miss seeing this grand temple erected 
by Ludwig I. at a cost of 14,000.000 florins (£1,200,000). 
The building itself is an exact duplicate of the *Parthenon at 
Athens when perfect; this may further interest you. **Rauch's 
six Victories are exquisite. Bavaria is greatly indebted to 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 89 

her good King Ludwig I. for her artistic pre-eminence. 
His entire life and fortune was devoted to the weh'are and 
happiness of his subjects, and this country seems to be 
artistically and scenically a land of beauty.

Karoline Automat, 9 Karoline str. (central); new, good. 
Luitpold Automat, 70 Konigstr.; fine. Next to St. Moritz 
chapel (central) is Bratwurst-Glocklein. The little sausages 
and kraut are famous; the Heldbrau beer excellent; many 
artists and travelers here. Impossible as it may seem, the 
consumption of beer per capita in Nuremberg exceeds that of 
Munich. The Fischkuche Luftsprung, 10 Untere Burgauer- 
platz (on the bank of the river, near the big Synagogue, corner 
of Nonnengasse just back of Lorenz kirche), serves the best 
fish and the celebrated *Tucher beer at low prices. It is 
crowded at night; so go early, as it is very popular with the 
natives. 

**The great German National Museum (free Sundays, 
10 to 2 only) is a wonderful institution; see it surely. *Frem- 
denverkehrsverein in central station (Schenker's office);

so that its mountains and lakes form an uninterrupted pano- 
rama of enchanting beauty); Linz and down the mighty 
and picturesque *Danube to the most stately capital of 
Europe, magnificent **\'ienna. Its splendid architecture, 
noble art works, properly exhibited in **superb galleries 
(by far the most impressive modern buildings on the conti- 
nent, designed especially for exhibition purposes) ; great parks; 
palaces; fine music and the vivacity of the populace produce 
an overwh(>]ming impression. 

ROSENHEIM: A fine avenue of trees leads to the city, 
which contains many arcades in Italian style. Reuter's 
Hotel Wendelstein, 6 Bahnhofstr. (2 minutes from station); 
room. 2 to 2'^ Mk.; large. Thalberg's Gasthof, 8 Bahnhofstr.; 
room, 2 Mk.; good. Gasthaus zum Gold. Hirsch, 38 Munchen

AUSTRIA 

SALZBURG: (Humboldt said, "I consider the surround- 
ings of Salzburg, Naples, and Constantinople the most beauti- 
ful in the world.") This city was the birthplace of Mozart; 
perhaps in honor of this event the services in the Cathedral 
are exceedingly grand; the organ is one of the largest in 
Austria. Few hotels near the station; take car line or walk 
in ten minutes to centre of city. There are many hotels on 
the car Hne near the large bridge. J. Kohler's Hotel, 2

*The Salzkammergut retains its old original manners, 
customs, architecture, and costumes to a remarkable degree; 
it is the most lovable of all regions and the one which lingers 
longest in the memory. *This district has every possible 
attraction without a single detracting feature. 

The Austrians are noted for their excellent cooking, the 
wines are good (in some cases famous), and the charges are 
very moderate. 

In Salzburg go to the *Stiftskellerei, St. Peters, the 
popular eating resort of the natives, it is by St. Peter's church, 
over the river at the foot of the path to the *castle heights. 
The meals are fine and low priced, the local wines excellent. 

A single ticket costs 2.10 Kr. by electric train or *railway 
amidst grand scenerv to 

**BERCHTESGADEN: Most exquisitely located. 
(Hotel Wittelsbach; room, 2.50 Kr. Hotel Krone; room, 2.50 
Kr. Watzmann Hotel-Pension; room, 1.50 Kr.), and to 
**Konigssee (Gasth. zum Konigssee, at boat landing; room, 
1.50 Mk. Hotel Schiffmeister, at boat landing; room, 1.50 
Mk.) 

**The Konigssee is one of the most enchanting lakes in the 
world. From the middle of the lake the surroundings are of 
awful grandeur. A gunshot from here echoes and re-echoes 
with the crash and roar of thunder. Great mountains a mile 
high ascend perpendicularly from the shores, and above it 



92 EUROPEAN GUIDE 

lies the little remote, beautiful Obersee, with its lovely water- 
fall a thousand feet high. The excursion round the lake takes 
five hours and costs i^o Mk. A visit to the salt mines at 
Berchtesgaden is verv interesting. 

BAD REIC HEN HALL (Hotels Post, Krone, and Ba- 
varia, all moderate) is very near and is delightfully situated. 

When in Salzburg secure a free copy of "Salzburg, the 
Pearl of the Austrian Alps," 70 pages, at Fremdenverkehrs- 
verein, 7 Schwartzstrasse (central); free books, maps, etc. 
(also at Ludwig Viktorplatz 7). 15- and 30-day Salzkammer- 
gut abonnements may be bought here. Group i or *Group 
I a (almost reaching Innsbruck), 15 days' unlimited travel 
costs 26 Kr. for third class; also Fixe Salzkammergut- 
Rundreise (fixed circular tours) from Salzburg for from 8.70 
Kr. up. 

Ask to see "Handbuch der K. K. Osterreichischen Staats- 
bahnen" at office. Look carefully over sections 6 and 7. (At 
office Austrian State Railways, I. Wallfischgasse 15, Vienna, 
you may get free guide books and list of 15- and 30-day 
abonnements.) 

A complete tour of the Salzkammergut without special

warded to Lambach from Salzburg (or vice versa) for i Kr. 
and will be held until called for. You are then free to travel 
with small markt tasche or hand-bag; by far the best plan.

attractive portion of the lake is that lying at the foot of the 
high Schafberg with its massed mountains. By train to St, 
Gilgen, Leug, and St. Wolfgang; the *Schafberg may be 
reached from here. Owing to its grand central location and 
its height, 1780 metres, the view compares with that from the

All through the Salzkammergut the striking native cos- 
tumes of the men and women seem very novel and attractive 
to strangers. 

Hallstatter See (lake) is very pretty and Hallstatt pic- 
turesque from a distance. It is hardly worth a visit unless a 
long journey to the Gosauseen (high mountain lakes) is con- 
templated. These lakes are, however, only slightly inferior in 
loveliness to the Konigsee. The small lake trip to and from 
Hallstatt costs i Kr.

DICTIONARIES 

INDEXED 



No expense has been spared in compiling these books. As a 
result, the most complete Foreign Language Dictionaries 
of handy size have been produced. Not only are they 
the most convenient for the student, but also the most practi- 
cal for use of progressive American business men who come in 
contact with foreign-language-speaking people. They are the 
most reliable dictionaries of this style on the market, and each 
one contains a conipleta guide to pronunciation, with rules for 
same. Condensation and usefulness are the chief features of

BOOKS OR TRAVEL 

By AUGUSTUS J. C. HARE 



H\ J IS accounts of scenery and traveling are obviously 
I I inspired with the localities described. He gives in- 
formation not to be obtained at all elsewhere, or, at 
least, to be collected with difficulty. 

"It is pleasant to have set before us, by means of Mr. 
Hare's excellent word-painting, the many classical and indi- 
vidual buildings with which these districts abound, especially 
as these antiquarian subjects are every now and then agree- 
ably enlivened by sketches of romantic scenery and curious 
aspects of the ancient and modern a.ge." —Spectator.
